Chapter 63

Rong Ci lightly covered her nose, then let go as if nothing had happened, stepped back slightly, and increased the distance between them.

Feng Feng Tingshen didn't seem to notice her series of actions; he took the invitation, opened it, and glanced at it: "Seventieth birthday?"

Rong Ci: "Yes." Having said this, she didn't ask him if he had time like before, or beg him to spare some time to attend the banquet; she just said: "Please tell Mom and Dad about it for me."

It was unclear whether Feng Feng Tingshen noticed that this time she didn't ask if he could spare time that evening to attend.

He glanced at her, then casually set the invitation aside and said: "Understood."

After saying this, he turned and went into the bathroom.

Rong Ci looked at his back, put away the hairdryer, and went to Feng Feng Jingxin's room to bathe her.

After helping Feng Feng Jingxin bathe, wash her hair, and blow it dry, it was already nearly an hour later.

Feng Feng Jingxin hugged her arm again, nestled in her arms, and asked if she could sleep with her tonight.

Given the current situation between her and Feng Feng Tingshen, what did "can" or "cannot" matter?

Rong Ci returned to the master bedroom, took her things, and when leaving the master bedroom, she said to Feng Feng Tingshen: "I'm going to sleep in Miss Xin Xin's room."

Feng Feng Tingshen was reading a book; upon hearing this, he said "Mm," didn't ask further, and certainly didn't try to keep her.

The next day.

After breakfast, Rong Ci sent Feng Feng Jingxin to school at her request, then returned to the company.

The old lady's birthday was approaching, but for the past month or so, she had been busy dealing with company matters, and she hadn't even bought the old lady's birthday gift yet.

During lunch, Rong Ci called Chu Chu Zilan and asked her to accompany her shopping that evening to buy a gift.

Upon hearing that she wanted to buy a birthday gift for her grandmother, Chu Chu Zilan agreed immediately.

She hadn't sent the invitation for Feng Feng Tinglin yet.

After hanging up, Rong Ci called Feng Feng Tinglin again.

The call went through, but no one answered.

Rong Ci knew that Feng Feng Tinglin didn't like her, and in fact, she didn't like any of the Rong family members.

Now that Feng Feng Tinglin wasn't answering the phone, it couldn't be ruled out that she was doing so intentionally.

However, for the sake of Old Lady Feng, she still had to go through the proper motions.

After the call hung up naturally, Rong Ci called again.

This time, the call was hung up directly.

Rong Ci understood that Feng Feng Tinglin was intentionally not answering her calls.

Rong Ci didn't care.

She was just going through the motions.

She composed a message to Feng Feng Tinglin, explaining the purpose of her call, and then asked when she would be free, as she wanted to deliver the invitation to her.

After sending the message, Rong Ci didn't care whether Feng Feng Tinglin replied or not and continued with her own work.

In the evening, after Rong Ci and Chu Chu Zilan had dinner, they shopped for a long time but didn't see any gifts that satisfied Rong Ci.

Chu Chu Zilan suddenly said: "There is a charity auction the night after tomorrow, why don't we take a look then?"

"But I don't have an invitation..."

Chu Chu Zilan was also a bit troubled: "The invitations for this auction were sent out half a month ago. It's indeed not easy to get one at this time, but, why don't you..."

Chu Chu Zilan's meaning was very clear.

It was to ask her to request help from Feng Feng Tingshen.

After nine o'clock in the evening, after parting ways with Chu Chu Zilan, Rong Ci ultimately returned to Feng Feng Tingshen's villa.

After she returned, she discovered that Feng Feng Tingshen had already come back.

He was busy in the study.

Rong Ci knew he didn't allow her near his study, so she stayed in the bedroom reading a book while waiting for him.

It wasn't until nearly one o'clock in the morning that Feng Feng Tingshen returned to the room.

Seeing him return, Rong Ci put down her book and looked at him. Seeing this, Feng Feng Tingshen asked in a calm voice: "Is something the matter?"

Rong Ci didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "I heard there is a charity auction at Chonghua in two days—"

Feng Feng Tingshen elegantly took off the tie around his neck, glanced at her upon hearing this, and said: "You want an invitation to the auction?"

Rong Ci was stunned: "Yes."

"Understood."

After saying this, Feng Feng Tingshen turned and went to the walk-in closet, and before long, he went into the bathroom to take a bath.

Rong Ci was somewhat surprised that he had agreed so readily.

However, since he had agreed, she felt relieved.

It was getting late, so she put down her book and lay on the bed. Feng Feng Tingshen hadn't finished his bath yet, and she had already fallen asleep.

Because the auction was the day after tomorrow, the next evening, after Rong Ci left Chang Mo, she returned to the villa again.

However, when she got home, Feng Feng Tingshen was not there, but Feng Feng Jingxin was.

Seeing her return, Feng Feng Jingxin pestered her to make her something delicious.

Rong Ci agreed.

After dinner, the butler suddenly came to find her and said: "Madam, someone just sent this over for you."

Rong Ci opened it and took a look.

It was an invitation to tomorrow's Chonghua charity auction.

Feng Feng Tingshen had really gotten it for her.

And there were two of them.

However, since he had someone send it back to her, did that mean he wouldn't be coming back tonight?

Thinking this, just as Rong Ci was preparing to take a bath, her phone suddenly rang twice.

Chu Chu Zilan had sent her two WeChat messages.

Rong Ci just opened them and paused.

It was a screenshot of a Moments post.

In the screenshot, there was a photo: under the brilliant fireworks, it was Lin Wu's sweet, smiling profile and Feng Feng Tingshen's back, with the caption: Tonight's fireworks festival is very beautiful.

In the photo, one could indeed vaguely see quite a few other couples.

From this, it was evident that the fireworks festival Lin Wu mentioned was actually a good place for couples to date.

And although Lin Wu's caption said the fireworks festival was beautiful, looking at her sweet and happy expression, it wasn't hard to discover that while the fireworks festival might be beautiful, what was even more beautiful was her mood.

Because she had Feng Feng Tingshen accompanying her.

Feng Feng Tingshen didn't come back; it turned out he had gone to date Lin Wu, and he hadn't even brought Feng Feng Jingxin along...

Rong Ci watched, her heart calm, but she was a bit puzzled and sent a message back to Chu Chu Zilan.

【You added Lin Wu as a friend?】

Otherwise, how would she have a screenshot of Lin Wu's Moments?

【I have a friend who knows her; hearing her mention it, I just asked her to send me a screenshot.】

Actually, what Chu Chu Zilan didn't say was that her friend was now incredibly envious of Lin Wu.

Because almost everyone in their circle now knew that Lin Wu had latched onto Feng Feng Tingshen, and that Feng Feng Tingshen loved her very much, treating her like a treasure.

Thinking of the extra invitation, Rong Ci sent another message to Chu Chu Zilan, asking if she wanted to go to the auction together tomorrow.

Chu Chu Zilan immediately agreed excitedly: "Go, I must go!"

That night, Feng Feng Tingshen did not return.

Rong Ci had already guessed as much.

After all, since he and Lin Wu had gone out on a date, it was estimated that after attending the fireworks festival, they would have an even more wonderful and sweet night.

Feng Feng Tingshen didn't return, and it was quite nice for her to sleep in the bedroom alone.
